Section 1: Introduction

1.1 Component Identication
Ethernet: A technology for high-speed bandwidth connectivity over local area networks (LAN).
Client Radio: This radio receives
signal from the server radio. The client radio is connected to and receives power from the display. Signal between the client and the display is both transmitted and received.
Server Radio: This radio is connected to the local Ethernet network through a DC injector which provides power to the radio. It transmits and receives information to and from the client radio at the display.
DC Injector: This unit, shown in Figure 5, receives signal in from the
customer’s network and relays signal out to the radio. It contains a power input to power the server radio.

Note: The DC Injector is for indoor use only.
Optional USB to Ethernet Adapter:
This bypasses complex network configuration in situations where simple point-to-point communication is required. The adapter creates a secondary network, which is dedicated for communication with a Daktronics Galaxy® display. Normal network operation is still enabled through the primary network.
